SHERBURNE – A Peruvian-based copper products manufacturer completed the acquisition of the former Sherburne Metals Products on Monday, according to Village of Sherburne Mayor William Acee.

Technofil S.A., one of Peru’s most important producers of copper and copper alloy semi-finished and finished products, purchased the long time employer’s plant and plans to hire 24 workers, the mayor said. The company will be named Technofil Chenango.

Sherburne Metal Products closed in 2009 following the death of its owner, David Harvey. Approximately 30 people lost their jobs. Acee said the announcement, coupled with recent news of Frontier Communications growing its workforce in Sherburne, would return the area’s rate of employment back to pre-recession strength.
